January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month

Cervical cancer was once one of the most common causes of cancer death for American women, but thanks to the HPV vaccine and regular screenings (Pap and HPV tests), it is now one of the most preventable. This month, we encourage everyone to take charge of their health:

Get Screened: Routine testing can find cell changes before they ever turn into cancer.
Get Vaccinated: The HPV vaccine is a powerful tool in preventing the virus that causes most cervical cancers.
Spread the Word: Talk to the women in your life about staying current with their check-ups. Early detection doesn’t just improve outcomes—it saves lives.

CIGNA - 6 Ways to Save on Your Healthcare Bills

Cigna recommends six ways you can save on your healthcare bills. Medical care can be costly and overwhelming for many. Having a health plan helps, but out-of-pocket costs can still come as a surprise. The good news is, there are ways you can help avoid unexpected bills, and even lower the expected ones.Use these tips to get going.1. Create a separate savings account. Put aside money each month in a separate account to cover your deductible and then some. A health savings account (HSA) is a great option if your employer offers it.2. Understand your plan. Choose doctors and facilities that are in your plan’s network, and ask for medications that are on your plan’s list of approved drugs.3. Ask your doctor whether tests or procedures are necessary and the cost. Your health plan’s website may also have cost estimates so you can plan ahead.4. Choose the right level of care. For non-life-threatening medical issues, an urgent care facility may cost significantly less than a trip to the ER. You can also make an appointment at your regular doctor’s office or clinic.5. Go generic. Ask your doctor about generic or less expensive forms of medication. And find out if there’s a 90-day-supply option.6. Use 24-hour health information services or virtual care. Connect with a nurse advocate* who can give health advice. Or you could speak with adoctor via phone or video chat, possibly eliminating a trip to the doctor’s office or the ER.
